The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration and rescinded the prior order due to an inadequate trial record, noting that findings of industrial injury must be supported by substantial medical evidence. The Board emphasized that medical reports were disorganized and not properly admitted as exhibits, and that lay testimony alone is insufficient for establishing cumulative trauma. The case is returned to the trial judge for further proceedings to create a proper record and a new decision.
