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.
Non-Invasive Flow Studies. Atherosclerosis in the leg arteries can decrease the blood flow and thus the oxygen supply to the muscles, causing pain when walking, or claudication.
