The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a WCJ's decision that a neuromuscular stimulator provided by Advanced Rehabilitation Technologies (ART) was reasonable and necessary medical treatment. The Board found the medical evidence supporting the WCJ's decision was insufficient, specifically noting unclear reports from Dr. McClung and the absence of opinion from the agreed medical evaluator, Dr. Wieseltier. The case was returned to the trial level for further development of the record, including obtaining supplemental reports from the treating physicians.
