During a seizure, many things might happen. Sufferers may lose the ability to swallow, have difficulty speaking, experience twitching or jerking movements in the body, and even experience convulsions. They may lose consciousness, see flashing lights, experience visual hallucinations, and feel out of body sensations.

My dad's leg suddenly bends at the knee while he's just walking around, and it happens pretty often. There's no pain, which I guess is good, but it's still really worrying. Why does this happen, and should we be concerned?

It sounds like your father may be experiencing muscle weakness or instability in his knee. I would recommend he try using a knee brace for added support. Additionally, he can take a muscle relaxant like Flexeril to help with any muscle tension that may be contributing to the issue.
