What can I do to strengthen my ankle and help me jump higher of of it?

Q: I just fractured my ankle about 4 months ago. I have finished rehab and physical therapy for it. It just doesnt seem as strong to me as it did before. I play ALOT of basketball and could jump actually pretty high for my size. Im 5 foot 9 and could almost dunk, I could just mostly grab the rim with both hands before tho. But now after my ankle injury, it doesnt feel right at all. Now I can just barely get the rim with my finger tips now. The injured ankle is my left one and its the one I jump off of. I was wondering if anyone could give me any information to help me out and jump higher again and to strengthen my ankle.

A: JUMP ROPE. its a verry good cardio exercise and can improve your vertical. also you might try strengthening your thigh and calf muscles, as these muscles are involved in jumping as well.
