👉 Impingements are a type of injury in which a person's foot is hit by another person's foot. This can happen when someone is walking or running and their foot hits another person's foot, causing pain and discomfort. Impingements are often caused by misalignment or tightness in the muscles that support the feet, as well as injuries to the ligaments or tendons that connect the feet to the ground. Impingements can be serious and require medical attention.
