  1. impingement

    Impingement is a type of abnormal mechanical contact between two structures or objects. It often refers to medical conditions where an anatomical structure, such as a nerve or tendon, is compressed due to the narrowing of the space around it, causing pain and restricted movement. However, in broader contexts, it can also refer to the impact of one object upon another.
