The Appeals Board affirmed a decision that the applicant did not sustain an injury arising out of and occurring in the course of employment on January 15, 2010. In a separate case, the Board affirmed findings regarding cumulative injury to the applicant's wrists but amended the decision to defer the issue of injury to the cervical spine and shoulders pending further proceedings. This amendment is due to the finding that the basis for injury to the cervical spine and shoulders was not substantial evidence. The matter is returned to the WCJ for further development of the record, including an examination by a court-appointed physician.
