Abstract	: This study has been undertaken to determine and study the prevalence of dropped shoulders in young college going students. Carrying heavy backpacks places excessive stress on the muscles, leading to postural changes and muscle weakness. Posture was assessed using plumb line which is a simple, feasible and non-invasive method to assess dropped shoulders.
