Good morning. It appears that he is suffering from osteoarthritis of the knees. Get X ray both knees (standing) (both knees on one film) - AP AND LATERAL views done and show to an Orthopaedic surgeon. If his knees are bad, then the treatment is knee replacement surgery.

Ice therapy would definitely help to reduce the inflammation. We also advise you to use knee cap which would help to prevent the knee from damaging further and also to maintain the quadriceps muscle tone. Stiffness might have developed due to weakness of the ligaments & inflammed cartilage. Specific knee exercises will also help ie. Keeping ball underneath the knee and keep pressing it. That's the simple exercise which will help you to strengthen the knee.
