The supreme court after hearing any appeal shall determine the appeal, and affirm, reverse, or modify the decree appealed from, and may itself take, or cause to be taken by the workers' compensation court any further proceedings that shall seem just. If a new decree is necessary, it shall be framed by the supreme court for entry by the workers' compensation court. At that time, the cause shall be remanded to the workers' compensation court for any further proceedings that shall be required.
