Radicular radiation
Explanation:
Pain radiates to the legs below the knees. This is a characteristic of nerve root irritation (radiculopathy). Note, the English term is radiation, not irradiation, which is completely different.

In the source text, they are looking for patients without radicular radiation. Such patients are said to have mechanical back pain as distinguished from sciatic pain.
