Abstract
✓ The authors describe a simple clinical adjunct to the routine neurological examination of patients with intermittent cauda equina compression syndrome. The “bicycle test” helps exclude intermittent claudication due to vascular insufficiency and frequently confirms the relationship of posture to radicular pain.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
