    The Pennsylvania Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board affirmed the Workers' Compensation Judge's (WCJ) denial of the Claim Petition that alleged a work-related carpal tunnel syndrome from repetitive duties performed by an electrician.

The Board also determined that the Doctor's opinion was equivocal and legally incompetent because he reported contradictory causation opinions in different reports.
