I'm sorry, I wasn't clear.

Jumping rope and trampoline have a similar bouncing/impact effect. Jumping rope is a lower grade way to help strengthen tendons, trampoline is the extreme version of that.

If you have bad stability to your knees, start with the low stance stuff first and build up the stabilizers. If that's ok and the concern is tendons weakening, then do rope (preferably on a non-hard surface to start). If that's all good, move up to light trampoline, obviously, with supervision/advice by any PT working with you.
