Hi Ben McKeen <[log in to unmask]>, I don't know about THOSE sticks, but I make my own. I make a thumbstick, sucj as hikers use, about the length so that it comes halfway up my bicep from the ground. I find it very supportive, without looking so very "disabled"! It's a bit more macho than your typical curved walking stick!
