Hi,
It could be due to peripheral neuropathy? senile? diabetic or because of any other metabolic disorder, if he has any. It will be worthwhile to get a neurologist opinion. Methylcobalamin along with other neurotropics will be able to help him.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
