Physio suggested I balance myself on my injured leg to re-develop lost motor skills (or whatever) and make sure my pelvis doesn't drop. I'm curious whether any of your good runners can do this without a problem.
Also, if I'm having all kinds of trouble doing this, how far am I from being better?

to make sure your pelvis doesn't drop? drop where? as long as you have 2 legs, your pelvis isn't going anywhere.
how much is this guy getting paid? do you really swallow this liberal bs? common sense should clued you in.
he means drop the side of the pelvis.
if you stand on your right leg, the left side of your pelvis shouldn't drop below the right side. I'd say you should work on balancing eyes open before you do it with your eyes closed -- it makes a big difference if you're having trouble

I wish you knew stupid you sounded. Liberal BS? I wish you had some common sense.
When a person stands on one leg, the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus muscles on the same side contract and keeps the pelvis from tipping toward the opposite, unsupported side.
If the superior gluteal nerve or greater trochanter is injured, a person will have a positive hip drop on the opposite side of the injury because these muscles won't be able to support the pelvis.

Don't worry, I have a good BS detector. If your hip/pelvis drops, your entire leg rotates on each step and messes things up.
I assume you're able to do this no problem (supposing of course you are a healthy runner)?
