Sorry no idea what they are called. Have seen in some programmes people using these things, end of rope in each hand and a thingy rolling along the rope . Can they be used if balance not great ?

Do they help strengthen arms? I have lost so much muscle in arms and legs.

try some light weights ,the ones that are wristbands for your arms ,you can wear them all the time or build up to all day use.Balance is different,ask your GP for a physio appointment or self refer if you have that option and they will give you exercises to regain your balance .
