Dune: Part Two is a sequel to Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's seminal science-fiction novel, Dune, of which the first film shares the same title.
Given the casting, it may very well finish up the rest of the novel as director Denis Villeneuve has said he wants to make a trilogy adapting both Dune and its sequel novel, Dune Messiah.
It always helps to watch the first part before watching the second part. The first Dune movie does a lot of world-building and does have some great action scenes, so it's worth looking into, as well as establishing most of the characters for the most part.
Many elements that are important to the plot of Dune: Part Two are established more concretely in Dune: Part One.

Per Frank Herbert's novels, the spice expands consciousness to the point that a navigator is able to travel through space without risk. It is essentially the oil of the Dune universe.
Worth noting is that this is purely a plot device, as navigating space is not nearly as difficult as depicted in film. Notwithstanding the positions of planets in their orbital cycles and the effect this has on flight paths and fuel requirements, the amount of space between all bodies within the universe is so vast that even a spaceship as big as the giant portal seen in Dune: Part One would need to deliberately steer into such a body to hit it.

The galactic government has numerous "houses", Royal families. Emperor Shaddam IV's house is House Corrino. Another house that has been featured in Dune videogames is House Ordos, who are depicted in said games as being quite technocratic.
There are sources available that go deeper into the familial houses of Dune. Describing them all properly would require at least a hundred thousand words.

Centuries prior to the events of Dune, artificial intelligence grew to the point where it enslaved humanity. Humanity rose up and destroyed this artificial intelligence. One consequence was that both religious and legal precepts were set that never again shall a machine be made that can replace or replicate functions that a Human can perform themselves.
The conflict became known as the Butlerian Jihad and all AI devices and robots and other forms of tech were destroyed.
In place of computers, familial houses have Mentats, humans who have been trained and modified to perform functions like those of a computer. Thufir Hawat is one such human.

Contrary to what actors love to tell the camera, no actor does "all their own stunts". The companies that insure productions would never allow this. Zendaya is one of the most essential elements in this film, and losing her before all of her scenes are shot, ADR'ed, and rendered, could entail a write-off of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Lest we forget, there are plans to make a third film based on Dune: Messiah.
Would *you* let Zendaya perform all of the moves in the fight scenes, knowing the above?

The most likely explanation, given the times at which it is used, is that the orbs are necessary to keep him upright when he is on the ground. Note that in all instances when he uses the spinal implant alone during Part One, his feet are never on the ground.
