[1] [2] Neurogenic means that the problem originates within the nervous system.
IPD's were developed for patients who have lumbar spinal stenosis, suffer symptoms of neurogenic intermittent claudication, and who are able to relieve their symptoms when they bend forward or flex their spines.
Spinal or neurogenic claudication may be differentiated from arterial claudication based on activity and position. In neurogenic claudication, positional changes lead to increased stenosis (narrowing) of the spinal canal and compression of nerve roots and resultant lower extremity symptoms. Standing and extension of the spine narrows the spinal ...
Intermittent neurogenic claudication [17] [20] [21] characterized by lower limb numbness, weakness, diffuse or radicular leg pain associated with paresthesia (bilaterally), [20] weakness and/or heaviness in buttocks radiating into lower extremities with walking or prolonged standing. [17]
