A device for balance and body orientation support that is configured to control the body position of individuals with sensory-motor disability that prevents them from normal standing and walking, comprises a top and a bottom frame, a lumbar belt configured to interface with the individual, and a suspension system including three suspension elements 21 each having a first and a second end which connect the lumbar belt 23 to the top frame 6. The top frame comprises three connecting points 7 connected to the first ends of the suspension elements 21. The lumbar belt 23 comprises three lumbar belt connecting points 25 connected with the second ends of the suspension elements. The top frame 6 is connected to the bottom frame 15 by telescopic rods 8. The bottom frame 15 which has by three wheels 36 is configured to allow motion of a platform defined by both frames and the wheels 36 in a horizontal plane. The centre of mass of the device is close to the ground. Each suspension element 21 comprises an external capsule 4, an internal capsule 3, a spring 1 disposed within the internal capsule 3 and a longitudinal rod 2 supported by the internal capsule 3 for telescopic movement against the force of the spring 1. The length of each of the suspension elements 21 is configured to be regulated by the movement of the external capsule 4 relative to the internal capsule 3 according to the characteristics and disability level requirements of each individual. Adjustment of the stiffness of the suspension system between the lumbar belt 23 and the top frame 7 allows control of the relative movement of the centre of mass and the body incline of the individual towards the vertical with respect to the platform.
