large rehabilitation centers may help at retraining him to sense position better or to rely on other systems in doing so. they may also try to tackle his dizziness. long standing dizziness is unusual -- does he have spinning sensation, inability to maintain himself straight, lightheadedness or does he sway? there're many different problems that people sometimes call "dizziness" and he needs to define it well in order to have a doctor or physical therapist help him best.
