Abstract
The pathogenesis of intermittent claudication in spinal canal stenosis has attracted increasing attention as a blood flow problem in the spinal cord and cauda equina. It has been noted that the increased density and dilatation of blood vessels in the lumbar spinal cord or the ipsilateral limb can be induced after electrical stimulation of a limb.
