Study Notes
Soft-tissue Injuries: PEACE and LOVE
- Soft-tissue injuries require a holistic approach encompassing immediate care (PEACE) and subsequent management (LOVE).
- Initial management (PEACE) focuses on protecting the injured area, elevating the limb, avoiding anti-inflammatories, applying compression and educating patients.
- Protection involves minimizing movement for 1-3 days to reduce bleeding and injury aggravation.
- Elevation helps interstitial fluid flow, minimizing swelling.
- Avoiding anti-inflammatory medications is crucial as they can hinder tissue healing.
- Compression reduces swelling using elastic bandages or taping and improves quality of life.
- Education emphasizes an active approach to recovery and realistic expectations.
Subsequent Management (LOVE)
- Subsequent management involves gradually increasing activity and exercises, promoting optimal tissue repair and healing.
- Load: A gradual increase in activity guided by pain levels is beneficial to rebuilding tissue strength.
- Optimism: A positive mindset contributes significantly to recovery.
- Vascularisation: Pain-free cardiovascular activities increase blood flow to the healing tissues.
- Exercise: Restoration of mobility, strength and proprioception through guided exercise promotes recovery.
Managing Soft-Tissue Injuries
- Managing soft-tissue injuries is more than short-term damage control.
- Clinicians should prioritize favourable long-term outcomes and focus on supporting the individual.
- Focus on early and gradual return to normal activities.
- Active approach is superior to passive treatments, like electrotherapy, early after injury.
- Education on proper load management is crucial.
- Realistic expectations about recovery time are important.
