Access to gym?: Most large gyms have machines that isolate (/focus on) the quads and biceps femoris and would not impact your ankle limitation.

Physical therapy: Pain and alterations in gait due to using crutches can bring on symptoms like this. Your physical therapist can evaluate and treat this type of weakness. They will advise to see your doc if they think there is something more to your complaints that needs evaluation like a nerve/spine problem.
