Default Absent sensory responses--

--as compared to "slowed" ones suggests axonal (nerve fiber) damage, as opposed to demyelination.

Echoes is right, though; there should be some sort of summary paragraph and there should be some sort of graphic chart that indicates the speed and patterns of your responses. It is difficult to imagine they got no sensory response whatsoever from any of the nerves tested--that usually only occurs if the nerve is cut completely, which would certainly effect motor responses, too.
