Diagnosed With MS, Severe Pain In Legs. What Kind Of Recliner To Buy To Alleviate Some Pain?

My father was recently diagnosed with MS. He has a lot of pain in his legs and is very uncomfortable most of the time. My brother and I are wondering what kind of recliner and/or chair that we could get him that he would be comfortable in and alleviate some of his pain at least while he is in the chair? Are there orthopedic chairs for this type of thing or what would we need to look for in buying him a new recliner?
