    Telerehabilitation is a promising avenue for improving patient outcomes and expanding accessibility. However, there is currently no spine-related assessment for telerehabilitation that covers multiple exercises. We propose a wearable system with two inertial measurement units (IMUs) to identify IMU locations and estimate spine angles for ten commonly prescribed spinal degeneration rehabilitation exercises (supine chin tuck head lift rotation, dead bug unilateral isometric hold, pilates saw, catcow full spine, wall angel, quadruped neck flexion/extension, adductor open book, side plank hip dip, bird dog hip spinal flexion, and windmill single leg). Twelve healthy subjects performed these spine-related exercises, and wearable IMU data were collected for spine angle estimation and IMU location identification. This inexpensive, convenient, and user-friendly approach to spine degeneration rehabilitation could potentially be implemented at home or provide remote assessment, offering a promising avenue to enhance patient outcomes and improve accessibility for spine-related rehabilitation.
