What Causes Weakness And Fatigue In The Legs?

My father is 86 years old and in excellent health. His only problem is he has weakness and tiredness in his legs. He has problems with his gait. Have had him to numerous doctors and none of them have helped him. He gets frustrated. Says when he first gets up he does OK for a few hours and his legs just give out. Won t use a walker or cane and I m afraid he will fall.
