          Balance= stability of movement

          Counter rotational moment of legs= ground contact is single support which creates a rotational moment which is transmitted to the upper body

          Propulsion= makes you move forward

          To control the cadence of the legs= speeding up or slowing down the arm swing will directly control the cadence of the leg swing

          i somewhat feel  balance and counter rotational movement go hand in hand with eachother…
          why are you differenciating here?
