The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for an inertial sensor suspension that minimizes proof mass rotation and translation. The system contains a microelectromechanical sensor (MEMS) device for measuring rotation along an input rotation axis. The MEMS device includes at least one substrate, at least one proof mass, and a suspension system. The suspension system includes at least one flexure connecting the at least one proof mass to a substrate and at least one anchored suspension element with a split support beam having a first split portion and a second split portion. The first split portion and the second split portion are of curved shape.
