Engineering
SAM enables a human body to be integrated into a Simulink/Matlab mathematical model of any engineering system.

Ergonomics
SAM can be used to teach the principles of ergonomics, for example the correct methods to lift heavy objects. Using SAM the lumbar, hip and knee torques can be shown and compared for lifts using "safe" or "unsafe" techniques.

Sports Science
The muscle forces can be plotted and the muscle timings can be viewed for different performance criteria.

Physiotherapy
Although EMG can be used to identify muscle activation of single muscles, SAM can evaluate the muscle forces for the whole body. For example, if different loads are applied to the hand SAM can evaluate the changing forces within the musculature of the arm and shoulder.
