Maria Eugenia, I think span implies a range of space? distance? where the movement can be performed within that space and up to certain "points" which would be the "topes", so if you say span of physiological movement it is an accurate tanslation for "topes de..." However to be more explicit you mght want to say max and min, taking into account that one person will have only one span for each movement at one given time.
regards!
