Claudication is pain and/or cramping in the lower leg due to inadequate blood flow to the muscles. The pain usually causes the person to limp. The word claudication comes from the Latin claudicare meaning to limp. Claudication typically is felt while walking, and subsides with rest.
Calf claudication is the most frequent location of pain, and most commonly results from blockage of the superficial femoral artery in the mid thigh. Foot claudication may occur from narrowing of an artery in the lower part of the leg (the tibial or peroneal artery).
