Cantu Classification

The Cantu Classification is a system used to categorize different types of head and neck injuries, particularly in the context of sports. It helps medical professionals assess the severity of concussions and determine the appropriate care and recovery protocol. The classification includes various grades that reflect the symptoms and effects on a person's cognitive function, ranging from mild to severe. This system standardizes how these injuries are understood and treated, emphasizing the importance of proper diagnosis and management to ensure athlete safety and health.
