In one embodiment, a shoulder, arm or hand cushion includes a plush fabric piece having dual overlapping opposing pockets formed therein for a resilient pad such as a viscoelastic gel pad. The dual overlapping pockets define a tortuous path for escape of the viscoelastic gel pad to minimize loss of the viscoelastic gel pad. A neck having a size less than the size of the pockets combined or less than the size of the viscoelastic gel pad further minimizes loss of the viscoelastic gel pad. Yet the viscoelastic gel pad is easily removable by turning the plush fabric piece inside out to permit the plush fabric piece to be washed. The cushion may be used on the shoulder portion of a crutch. In another embodiment, the shoulder, arm or hand cushion is formed from a viscoelastic molded material having a base inner layer of a molded material of first relatively firm degree of hardness and an outer layer of a viscoelastic molded material of a second relatively soft degree of hardness where the outer layer conforms to the shape of a portion of a shoulder, arm or hand. Preferably, the base inner layer is also viscoelastic.
