Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
I think your husband may have neurological problem as your therapist is suspecting. It can be problem in brain or spine. Also it can be a vit b 12 deficiency issue. I would suggest you to get his serum B 12 estimation. Its normal range is 120 to 1000 pg. So if it below this then you should give him B12 tablets. Also get him examined by neurlogist. He may see if there is any problem with brain.
