(under subclass 51) Subject matter wherein the apparatus separately supports each foot at a height above the ground as the user moves about in a step by step manner, e.g., walking on a pair of long, foot supporting poles, etc.

While the intended use of this type of apparatus is not always clearly set forth as being exercise, the apparatus has been historically considered to be a form of exercise or athletic device which, by its nature, often makes exercising more enjoyable. A body attached stilt, regardless of intended use, is not proper for this subclass since it is provided for elsewhere (see the Search Class notes below).
