Margaret Martin describes them here:

I have a few "senior" workouts that have heel drops.
Thanks for sharing this site.

For those who have mentioned rebounding, she talks about it in regard to bone density on this page. Basically she states there is a lack of study, and any claims that rebounding improves bone don’t seem to be supported.

however, as some of you have shared, it's not possible. have you also abandoned rebounding? because after reading this study, i was thinking rebounding must give you the same effects but better because you have the resistance of the rebounding surface to cushion the impact?
Most companies that sell rebounders like to quote a very old NASA study done with astronauts. The astronauts lost bone mass during extended space missions. They used rebounding as part of their back on earth recovery.

An article from 2012 shows that they how found dietary adjustments and resistance training while in space to help prevent astronaut bone loss:

There doesn't seem to be any new research on the subject of rebounding and bone loss that I can find.

i found a 2019 NIH study that showed improvement in BMD (bone mineral density) in *older women when using a mini-trampoline:
