First, intermittent claudication is more common in patients with central spinal stenosis or severe stenosis. After walking for a certain distance, they have lower limb pain, numbness and weakness. They need to squat or sit down to rest for a period of time before they can continue walking. With the aggravation of the disease, the walking distance is shorter and shorter, and the rest time is longer and longer.

Second: Patients with more symptoms, but less or lighter signs, especially after the rest is more difficult to find positive signs, which is the characteristics of the disease. Straight leg raising and straight leg raising enhancement tests are usually negative, and the lower extremity nervous system examination is generally normal.

Third: the bending test is mostly positive. That is: ask the patient to speed up the walking speed, then the pain will be aggravated.
