Neurogenic claudication can be distinguished from true claudication by examining the pedal pulses
What is the expected finding on examination of the pulses in neurogenic claudication compared to true claudication? What other physical signs may be seen with claudication that might not be present with neurogenic claudication?
.True claudication would be marked by decreased pulses (indicating decreased blood flow) in the lower extremities whereas neurogenic claudication would not be associated with decreased pulses. Other physical signs of claudication include those associated with peripheral vascular disease such as cool extremities, prolonged capillary fill time in the affected extremity, decreased hair growth on the lower legs, and poorly healing wounds in the lower extremities.
