Abstract
We give a proper reparametrization theorem for a set of rational parametric equations which is proper for all but one of its parameters. We also give an algorithm to determine whether a set of rational parametric equations belongs to this class, and if it does, we reparametrize it such that the new parametric equations are proper.
