Children suffering from cerebral palsy have felt improvement in their sense

Tree climbing is also helpful to the physical challenged. Children suffering from cerebral palsy have felt improvement in their sense of balance when climbing trees.

... have improved in their sense of balance ...

... have improved their sense of balance ...

Do all of the above versions sound right and mean pretty much the same? Thanks.

Thanks, Mister.

Got it.

By the way, I find "be not enamoured of" in your post very interesting and I seldom ran across it. So I wonder if it's still in regular use.
