Best Answer

Young Forrest had several different problems, none of which defeated him. No specific medical names were given in the movie but he had a lower than average IQ and probably a learning disorder. His need for leg braces was for scoliosis (curvature of the spine) which when caught early can result in complete recovery. The doctor tells Mrs. Gump that his legs are straight but his back is crooked. His biggest problem seemed to be his insensitive and cruel peers.
