===Helmets=== High-quality evidence is lacking for cranial remolding orthosis (baby helmet) for the positional condition and use for this purpose is controversial.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Goh|first1=JL|last2=Bauer|first2=DF|last3=Durham|first3=SR|last4=Stotland|first4=MA|title=Orthotic (helmet) therapy in the treatment of plagiocephaly|journal=Neurosurgical Focus|date=October 2013|volume=35|issue=4|pages=E2|pmid=24079781|doi=10.3171/2013.7.focus13260|doi-access=free}}</ref> If conservative treatment is unsuccessful, helmets may help to correct abnormal head shapes. These helmets are used to treat deformational plagiocephaly, [[brachycephaly]], [[scaphocephaly]], and other head shape deformities in infants 3β18 months of age by gently allowing the head shape to grow back into a normal shape. This type of treatment has been used for severe deformations.<ref name=Rob2009>{{cite journal|last1=Robinson|first1=S |last2=Proctor |first2=M |title=Diagnosis and management of deformational plagiocephaly |journal=J Neurosurg Pediatr |date=April 2009 |volume=3|issue=4|pages= 284β95 |pmid=19338406 |doi=10.3171/2009.1.PEDS08330|doi-access= }}</ref>
