According to
CFR 135.152 Flight Data Recorder requirements, force recording is definitely contemplated.
In particular this reference includes
(88) All cockpit flight control input forces (control wheel, control column, rudder pedal).
In my experience a typical accident report only displays a very small subset of the recorded parameters.
Force input reporting is not only possible, but in at least some portion of the fleet, is required.
