An articulating surgical armrest further includes two (2) elongated plates and a pivot hinge. A distal end of a first plate is pivotally attached to a distal end of a second plate. The plates are attached to form one (1) elongated structure in the same plane. A user rests their arm on the rest and articulates the first plate to provide range of motion for the users arm while maintaining a muscular relaxed state in that arm.
