calf claudication
Explanation:

En ocasiones, también se producen tromboflebitis en pacientes no encamados, es decir, en pacientes ambulantes con un inicio más brusco e intenso, tras un día de máxima actividad se produce por la noche un calambre muy doloroso en el muslo o en la zona gemelar (pantorrilla)

The level of arterial occlusion influences location of symptoms. Aortoiliac PAD may cause buttock, thigh, or calf claudication

calf muscle claudication


Explanation:
Enfermedad arterial periférica: aspectos fisiopatológicos, clínicos y terapéuticos
https://www.revespcardiol.org › es-e...

Aunque la mayoría de los pacientes referirá claudicación gemelar, la presencia de claudicación en las masas musculares glúteas o del muslo puede indicar la presencia de una enfermedad en el eje iliaco.

Although most patients report calf muscle claudication, the presence of claudication in the buttocks or thighs may indicate the presence of disease in the iliac region.

agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: Claudication implies muscular involvement, so 'muscle' may be redundant, but including it makes the condition clearer and more specific.

knee claudication


Explanation:
The information tells:
'The patient has no symptoms of claudication at the medical centre, but has left knee claudication at 50 metres. At the clinic the patient has a temperature and full distal capillary circulation. The patient has scarred surgical injuries without complications. Right-sided pulse rate is positive. Slight swelling of the right leg.'

Claudication is a halt, limp or lameness in a person's walk.
It's caused by a lack of blood circulation to the knee area and hence a lack of oxygen to the knee which causes pain during exercise. It affects the distance that a patient is able to walk. Pain usually decreases during rest, though it varies from patient to patient, depending on tiredness, weight, speed of walking and calabre. The corporal area affected by pain on walking or other exercise indicates the muscular area where oxygen fails to be enough from circulation.


(ES: La claudicación es un dolor causado en un flujo sanguineo demasiado bajo a los músculos durante el ejercicio. Lo más frecuente es que se produzca en las piernas después de caminar a un cierto ritmo y durante un cierto tiempo, según la gravedad de la afección. La claudicación es intermitente porque el dolor no suele ser constante. Comienza durante el ejercicio y termina con el descanso.")

Example sentence(s):
  • "Esta claudicación se caracteriza por afectar a un grupo muscular concreta, que se produce por una cantidad constante de ejercicio y que desaparece en minutos al detener la marcha. La molestia subjetiva varía de unos pacientes a otros desde el cansanci
  • a calabre, pesadez o dolor, la velocidad o la pendiente." La localización del dolor indica donde falta el oxígeno de la circulación corporal de la sangre que debe llegar a la localización muscular de las rodillas.
