Background: Spasticity is a common motor impairment in patients with stroke that not only has a negative impact on the patient’s quality of life but also has high economic burdens for society. Recently the application of shock wave therapy has attracted considerable attention as a safe and effective method in treatment of spasticity. The objective of the present study was to investigate the eff...

In this paper, we shall study traveling wave solutions for a set of onedimensional nonlinear, nonlocal, evolutionary partial differential equations. This class of equations originally arose at quadratic order in the asymptotic expansion for shallow water waves [4,10]. The famous Korteweg–de Vries equation – which is nonlinear, but local – arises uniquely at linear order in this shallow water wa...
