Unable to walk properly

2015-09-13 12:30:29
My father used to walk well for long distances until last year.  Suddenly in recent times he is loosing balance while walking and slowly now he is scared to step out of house. No joint pains.  Orthopedics say cannot do anything as his age is above 75.  Confused on where to show. Any suggestions?
