How do you cut one to length for a person?

Google has lots of hits for "walking stick length" (without the
quotes) e.g.

and
http://reviews.ebay.co.uk/Correct-le...:-1:LISTINGS:1
That's what I was looking for. So the arm has to have a slight bend in it.
I'm now 64 and in my teens I gave my right ankle a very sever twisting a
couple of times and in the last 2 years it has given way on me 4 times
and I have fallen to the floor, fortunately without any physical damage.
Knowing that I would need a stick, I started looking out for one about 4
years ago, but it is too long to put any weight on it and I didn't know
how much to shorten it by.
Many thanks
Dave
