agility ladders

i know that they can help someone with their balance and footspeed, but do they help with gaining running speed?

Certainly they can. However most do incorrectly and "tip toe" their way through the ladders. On top of running mechanics the way to increase sepped is increase stride length, stride frequency and ground force contact. The ladders can significantly increase ground force contact when performed correctly.
