Physical Therapy, 1996
Symptoms for spinal stenosis apparently result from an incongruity between the capacity and contents of the spinal nerve passages. These symptoms are most frequently seen in men in their fifth or sixth decade of life. Spinal extension generally exacerbates the claudication-type symptoms (lower-extremity pain and paresthesia), whereas spinal flexion ...
