The present invention concerns an orthopedic standing and walking aid and a method of supporting a person with such an orthopedic standing and walking aid. 5 The orthopedic standing and walking aid comprises a carriage which is displaceably mounted on a running rail, an approximately C-shaped frame suspended from the carriage by means of a suspension device and a saddle which is arranged on the C-shaped frame approximately in linear alignment below the suspension device. The orthopedic standing and walking aid 10 can be distinguished by a spring element arranged in the area between the carriage and the saddle so that the saddle is elastically supported in the vertical direction. This means that the saddle or orthopedic standing and walking aid automatically follows a person sitting on it, even if he or she changes the height of her buttocks. The orthopedic standing and walking aid may also be distinguished by a height adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of 15 the saddle, which has a height adjustment spring element which exerts an upward preload on the saddle. This height adjustment mechanism can be designed to be lockable with one hand by means of a locking unit. 20 (Figure 1 for publication)
